Senior MP Blames US for Al-Qaeda’s Terrorist Activities in Syria

Chairman of the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi took the US responsible for al-Qaeda terrorist activities in Syria, and stressed that Washington is supporting the terrorist group in line with the interests of Israel.

The US encourages al-Qaeda members to enter Syria from different countries and carry out the massacre of Syrians, Boroujerdi said on Wednesday.

He stated that Syria is the axis of support for the resistance front in the fight against the Zionist regime, and added, “And therefore, the US and its allies are using all their financial, political and arms facilities to change the political structure of this country in line with the interests of the Zionist regime.”

Boroujerdi noted the destruction of Syria’s infrastructure by foreign-sponsored armed groups shows the Israeli regime’s direct interference in the war on the Arab state.

In relevant development, a terrorist group affiliated to the Afghan Taliban announced earlier today that it will decapitate anyone who cooperates with the Syrian government in Syria, no matter it is a man, woman or a child.

“We will decapitate anyone who interacts with the Syrian government, even if he/she is a Muslim,” the terrorist group, which introduces itself as the Taliban of Syria, said in a statement released in video footages on Sunday.

Earlier reports also said that several militants active along Pak-Afghan border and aligned with Taliban were travelling to Lebanon and Turkey via the Persian Gulf Arab littoral states to join the so-called ‘Free Syria Army’ terrorist group against President Bashar al-Assad’s government.

Reliable sources said in March that as many as fifty militants have already made their way to join the Free Syria Army while dozen others are already preparing to join the movement within next few days and weeks.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border guards being reported across the country.

The US and its western and regional allies have long sought to topple Assad and his ruling system. Media reports said that the Syrian rebels and terrorist groups have received significantly more and better weapons in recent weeks, a crime paid for by the Persian Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States.

The US daily, Washington Post, reported in May that the Syrian rebels and terrorist groups battling the President Bashar al-Assad’s government have received significantly more and better weapons in recent weeks, a crime paid for by the Persian Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States.

The newspaper, quoting opposition activists and US and foreign officials, reported that Obama administration officials emphasized the administration has expanded contacts with opposition military forces to provide the Persian Gulf nations with assessments of rebel credibility and command-and-control infrastructure.

Opposition activists who several months ago said the rebels were running out of ammunition said in May that the flow of weapons – most bought on the black market in neighboring countries or from elements of the Syrian military in the past – has significantly increased after a decision by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Persian Gulf states to provide millions of dollars in funding each month.
